@bballcat4 , we had better seasons in 63% of our seasons since probation ended in 1991.
This season wasn't much on any level, even a historical level.

Good Season ... Historically Bad Loss
- Thread starter bballcat4
- Start date
People mention 2020 a lot, but can you think of a Final Four team that had its point guard quit on the team right before a conference tournament?
I can't either. That team probably gets bounced before the Final Four as a result of Hagans' drama. It's a hard truth, but it's probably closer to reality than the one Cal was trying to sell us about that team.
How in the in the hell do you call this a really good season? Finished 3rd in the SEC. Lost in the SEC tournament to Tennessee. Lost in the 1st round to St. Peters. Yeah, OK!
Basically, 2/3rds of our seasons since probation ended were better seasons from a record/wins level. That's not the type of season that has much of any historical significance.
The reality is that the 2022 team will be looked back on with casual embarrassment, at best.
Nothing in my OP about “historically” good year. I do consider a #2 seed with a chance at 1 seed going into last weekend a good season.
But, my statement was “good season with HISTORICALLY bad loss.”
Nobody dismantled anything. He stared spewing irrelevant BS about why they were seeded badly. Fact remains they out performed their seed massively. Anywhere from 57 -60 spots. Then the hater goon squad realizes they just got punked and shows up for damage control. And they fail!! It was not the worse loss of our history. It was the lowest seed that beat us. A seed that out performed their seed by the most EVER. Now, only someone with zero coping skills or someone with a huge grudge against the cats is going to say that was our worse tournament losses. So which is it with you, Momma’s boy or U6 fan?
You got crushed, take the L.
Well, don't take the L, just look at your forehead in the mirror. Same result.
Show me where I said it, and I will.
Come on, little guy. Don't be afraid. You can do it.
Show your work.
……says the guy who incessantly says he doesn’t care.
Hahaha.
I don’t know if he did or didn’t predict Oscar would leave, but who cares. It’s not disparaging someone to make a prediction about them. I thought he would leave too, but I’m thrilled he’s staying. Does that somehow give me an L?
Is cry chicken upset with a loss to a final eight team? Did mommy take his participation prize? Poor cry chicken.
You are happy with a season that ended in a first round loss. You’re as bad as IU fans goving Creepy Crean 10 years to revive their program.
IU fans - celebrate making the tournament and IU’s average season
Cal fans - celebrate making the tournament and UK’s average season
Cal fans - celebrate making the tournament and UK’s average season
Poor baby nobody said they were happy. Just laughing at your weakness over a loss to a final 8 team. Common with Nancy boys. Reading helps. You’d know these things.
LOL. Nancy boy got trashed so bad it had to grab the coaches family into it.
Hahaha see your expectations ARE low. You care about proving me wrong than going far in the tournament. Losing to a 15 seed is great because said 15 went to the Elite Eight? Jeez dude if you are serious that’s sad
Your expectations are zero.
It’s called rock bottom. Bringing in his family falsely is low
Yes. The haters were desperate to demonize the program. This worst tournament loss lie was their lynchpin. It’s clear loss of that claim floored them and now they are attacking family, making sexual references against posters. It’s pathetic.
You main losing to the most unseeded team in the tournament in history. You are leaving claw marks trying to cling to your lie.
Good take man. It's unfortunate there are babies here who won't look at it for what it is. Thanks for throwing that together.
False, and you can't prove it. You're just running around saying stupid shit in the hopes that I'll somehow say something banworthy. You're a gutless turd.
Ole Chicken Head....You know all about banworthy don't ya LCC? How many accounts are you up to now? 5-6? Troll
Your obsession with me is noted, creeper. Go easier on the makeup, you're scaring your mom back under the porch.
bahaha a momma joke? That's all you got ole chicken head (LCC)? You have over 800 posts in 2 months and you want to talk obsession? LOL ok ole chicken head.
The best you can come up with is "chicken head?" That doesn't even make sense, but then again with a mental maturity of under six I'm not surprised. Did you think that one up all by yourself? You should be proud, you managed to make a 3rd grade level joke on the internet. You certainly aren't here to talk basketball, troll. Do you have anything in your repertoire other than stalking and guffawing at your own stupidity? Just another pathetic one trick pony.
They obviously stopped banning people which is the only explanation why you still post.
Only here to comment on title of the thread, but think it's a well put argument. They had a good bounce back season that was trending right but as we had some discussion throughout the year, the fear was if you flame out early in NCAA's it will be all for nothing-which unfortunately happened.
My hopes are the staff has seen the why and sounds like one issue was identified. You watch that last game and see a guy who was positive contributor sit entire rest of game for a guy who wasn't--it's noticeable that guy isn't being reported as returning. Good. One issue has been addressed. CJ Fredrick is at least the equal to Grady shooting the ball and one thing I do know about him is he's shot/played in hostile road environments in a Major Conference and performed. To me he's an upgrade over Grady--despite the 2000 pts for midpack Davidson teams. I've never cared for Davion Mintz's game so think anyone playing in his minutes is an upgrade. I think the team is 1/2 pieces (1 if you assume Reeves will eventually commit) away from being a really high level team with a chance to contend in a year that Cal really needs to win big. There's time to get that missing piece be it Portal or Guy who exits Draft and enters Portal.
I've completely written off Sharpe and Leonard Miller. I hope Sharpe goes #1 overall so Count Dracula MF'er Silver has to mention Kentucky as he's seen his program (Silver is a Dookie) depleted in a Calipari like manner this offseason and program can have their 4th #1 overall pick in 12 yrs. While I get why many don't care and I am not trying to sell you--I think it would be a bigger selling point to aid the "we're on right track and close to being what we were" angle. I also believe if TyTy Washington is healthy he may be first benefit of seeing the Murray's, Herro's, Maxey's get underdrafted and go higher than most expect--maybe even top 10.
That would help the program with some positive momentum going into this Bahamas Trip and depending on how they close this roster out....they have a team who gets some competitive games in August...has college star power in Oscar headlining and a nice roster of guys who can play--with 1 to 2 missing pieces...you have set up to have season finish differently this year, which we all agree is necessity for Calipari. Which leads to recruiting this Summer/Fall-he needs to have a top 2 class lined up by early Signing Period or that's going to hint at how things have gone. This is Kentucky's biggest recruiting season in Cal's tenure. Reed Sheppard being locked up is a big notch...now how it goes from here decides things and several excellent options, but you can't lose out on the high end guys.
What's done is done. I don't care for it either. But you dig in and fight or you fold and quit. He's got one last shot here to dig in and fight and we all will be seeing how it goes.

You got a point. Cry Chicken is better. It captures your zero coping skills and spineless ability to deal with college basketball. Cry child chicken. CCC. Oh!!! It fits!!!
Did not:
Win SEC regular.
Win SEC tourney.
Make it to the final four.
Beat a 15 seed.
Not sure how you call that a very good year.

Poor ole chicken head (LCC) adds nothing of value to the conversation other than constantly berating the other fans and team/coach. What a sad, sad miserable existence. I feel for your family for having to put up with you.
